Exactly Rose, like many of the Buterbaugh florals that I’ve tried, is more of a watery, light and subtle fragrance.
In this case, as the name suggests, a rose water type fragrance, with an overload of citrussy acidity. I didn’t necessarily get lime from it, but there is a zestiness and an almost vinegary acidity. It was quite refershing in high heat, but also not the most eventful or interesting and it came across as more of a diffuser oil for a room fragrance.
